Anyone diagnosed SzA and later it was changed to Sz?

DX'd - Sz/SzA

This happened to me. I was having mood swings until my pdoc put me on Abilify and Cymbalta. I’m fine now. After the Sz diagnosis I was only on an AP for years and having problems.

The first hospital I ever went to they said sza then after that it was sz sz sz over and over. But in 2018 it changed back to sza . The hospital still wrote sz but my pdocs say it’s sza. They probably think sza is a type of sz. But it is clear that I have a mood disorder on top of the sz. My depressions are very long and frequent.

I went from major depression to bipolar to sza to sz to sza. I’ve been diagnosed sza consistently over the past 28 years.

I was diagnosed sza for about 3 years. At that time I was in and out of the hospital a lot, ending with about two years straight in two long term hospitals.
When I got out I saw a new doctor and he rediagnosed as sz and took me off the mood stabilizers.

I was diagnosed sza for 10 years, then paranoid sz and at last my current schizotypal diagnosis. I have still got some mood issues, but since i have close to none psychotic symptoms and delusion besides intrusive “loud thoughts” i match better my current StPD diagnosis

Yes, first psychiatrist diagnosed me with sza,
I had severe mood swings.
I was taking tegretol, a mood stabilizer.
When I saw the second psychiatrist, I had no mood swings.

I was diagnosed sz then sza depressive type to sza bi polar. I believe I have DID too because of my Alter Ego which is like a Self, but it’s a conscious mind game. I have many other Alters or voices but they morph over time. My main Alter has morphed too but I know it’s him. We have not gotten along, but there’s hope. But I have been able to enjoy life without him. I am happy this morning without it being mania. Yesterday I beat death :skull: once again.
